I second tedmiston's point above. It's mainly convenience (running `npm run` which can be auto-completed with a shell integration too), but also discoverability: If you're switching between multiple projects, its nice to know that you can simply look there for the commands that you're able to run.

I especially like the package.json scripts for simple one-liners, if I have something complicated I might also create a ./scripts directory with a script and call that from an npm run-script.
